Hello, Always enjoy your DVDs and own many of them. Transparent watercolor is my medium and I wondered, is there any specific reason why you did not choose transparent watercolor for 1 of the demonstrations?

Hi James, Just want to let you know I tried to buy the video and got an error saying "This product is not currently for sale", and others have reported the same thing in the YouTube preview comments. Hope you can figure it out, I am looking forward to watching!

Hi James, Looking forward again to this new video. As you know I live in France and I just succeeded in attaching the wooden easel on the tripod thanks to a special nut very difficult to find here... My easel is nearly like yours (bought your video to help me build it), I just have a different system as I can't get the special hinges (I have a piece of wood to block the wooden plate and have it secured thanks to velcro). Now, I can paint in my garden the lovely palm trees (and get bitten by mosquitos). Michel, my husband, calls me "Mrs Gurney" ah ah as I have the same easel, you can tell Jeanette. ;-)
